Am I right with assuming that this is pending evaluation wrt. to capability to
attract new committers and if found useful, something that likely the PMC as a
whole would want control over?

ACK.

Meh for the legal hurdles. As for my personal opinion: While a lot of projects
come to Apache through the incubator, I find it easier if projects are pulled
in rather earlier than later.

Especially if you are thinking about merging that into mxnet it sounds like it
would make an aweful lot of sense to keep the Apache mxnet project in the loop
early on.

I know that at least httpd has their docs hosted on their main web page in
multiple languages. Translating docs can be a very low barrier entry for new
contributors. Instead of hosting that on an external site, I think it would
make sense to pull that into the main docs.

<- is that assumption correct?
